2/3 my tank size or 2/3 my total water volume?

awesome... i need stability! what watt do you have for your 55?

That won't be too much for such a small area? I have a maxijet 1200/

I was looking at the stealth as well. Should I go for total water volume or just the tank for the most accuracy? About how close is your temp to what you have it set as?

I have a 46gal bowfront tank with a 10-15gal sump. My current heater bumped up the temp to 82 and is stuck on even though I have it on the lowest setting at the moment... I'm going to stay up all night to keep an eye on the temp and go tomorrow to buy a new heater... Which brand do you suggest...

Ok, I started to raise the temp and nothing really, but now my heater freaked out and decided to heat it to about 82 so I turned it all the way down hoping it can keep it at about 76-80ish. Tomorrow I'm going to buy another heater because I've never really liked this one. It doesn't even have...

I just bought a beautiful colony of purple tabling acros, but i looked a little closer and saw little orange dots on one of the branches... then, some moved. they're way too small to take a pic of. i think they might be acro bugs... what should i do??? how do i prevent them from taking over...

I have some chaeto in my fuge that is really looking nasty. Some stuff is growing over it and it looks disgusting. Should I maybe add a small powerhead into the fuge to let it get some circulation? If so, what size should I get as it's a very small area. The sump is about 15gal but the fuge...

ok, so i went to the doctor today and when i came home, the torch was looking a bit ragged and semi-closed. could it be that the clowns were starting to host and being a little rough with it???

can do... i checked the pH again since the lights have been on for about 4 hours now. it looks like it moved up a bit to about 8.0-8.1 as long as it's in a good range it's fine i guess. thanks guys. i'll try to get him to come out more by feeding reef chili once or twice a week. he's growing...

I just checked and the pH is a bit low... about 7.9-8.0 range... I have some pH buffer, but I don't really know how to dose it. I know I'd have to put it in topoff. It says to use 1 tsp for every 10 gallons daily, but would that raise it too much? The brand is SeaBuffer... do you guys have...

my corals are too big and attached to the rockwork to put them in a bag with them, but I'll try to picture method. Couldn't hurt. While watching them last night, it looked like they might have been rubbing against my mushroom bed? Now, they're just swimming along, not really paying attention...

There's nothing too close to it that could possibly be hurting it. The closest thing is a monti cap which I don't think would hurt it, and it's a couple inches away. My lighting schedule has been the same although I did change the bulbs in August... They're the same kelvin bulbs though...

Hello, I just got a pair of ORA Occelaris clowns (one orange-the female, and one black misbar-the male). They're already a pair so I don't have to worry about that. The only thing I really want is for them to host. I don't have an anemone, but I have a frogspawn, torch, hammer, and duncans...

I've had an ORA Green Stylophora for a good 8 months now. At first, it had really long polyp extension and amazing colour. Now, although it has grown significantly, the polyp extension isn't as long or beautiful as it once was... My params are ideal: 0 Amm 0 Trites 0 Trates 0 Phates 450 Calc...

amazing... just amazing.

I'll just stick with corals then. Hopefully my future clowns will like my frogspawn, hammer, or torch instead! Thanks.

I would definitely get a pair of clowns, maybe a pair or firefish, a pygmy angel such as a flame or coral beauty angel and a pair of cleaner shrimp... yes, i'm partial to pairs but it looks nice! =D

Any update on the tank??? I love this beast!
